Just wanted everybody to know that you CAN downgrade your MM LG G4 for Verizon by using LGUP.
And this is how...
1). Download all The Files Below!
1) Firmware Files - Click HERE!
Or Here LGKDZ.com for your exact match KDZ for your model
2) Download LG Drivers - LG Drivers Here - 10.9 Mb
2.1)Verizon Drivers (Verizon Only)LG_VZW - 7.8 Mb
3..LGUP can be found on this website LG UP DOWNOAD
You have to sign into one of your accounts and like the page for them to open the downloads in the middle of the page.
4. install the drivers then the .msi file for LGUP. Usually there is a DLL file and the LGUP application, install the .DLL file then install LGUP.
5. First make sure that your phone is showing up on LGUP, if not make sure you have USB debugging enabled and the you are connected with MTP.
6. Find your .kdz file, and don't press start VERY IMPORTANT!!, Exit out of the application and then REOPEN LGUP and your 13b.KDZ should still be in the box at the bottom.
7. Now just press start and wait for it to do it's magic.
And now your back on LL and you can get back to rooting this phone.
And just so people know it is not possible to downgrade from LL to KK, it will brick your phone for some reason, and trust me I had to send mine back and get a knew one, nothing would get it to work again!
So that's how you get back to LL from MM, which seems to be the only way to have root at the moment...
One more thing, I was able to transfer the files for the effortless root on MM but you can't do any send_command.exe commands because it just says FAIL. but it did switch the system software from Official to Modified so it did something just not what I wanted it to do....
If there's anyone wondering why this works, it's because both the 13b and 24c kdz's both have the same qfuse number, so the bootloader accepts both without bricking. If Verizon ever puts out an update that increments the qfuse value and you take it, you won't be able to downgrade to 13b or 24c.
I have the kdz file but it wont let me put it on lgup. It's looking for a .tot file. Help would be greatly appreciated
Nevermind. Figured it out
would this work with h811

Thank you for the info! Just curious: how do you check the value of qfuse?
I did this on a Canadian variant H812 and it worked. Rooted right after and that worked too. I am a happy camper.
I loaded H81210n.
Anyone reading do note that I did not use the Verizon files above.

What you must do is tick the update and select the kdz file. Then close LGUP, open it again and select refurbish and kdz file should be there. Start the load.
This phone with L and root is perfect. No M for me until root (if it happens). Really enjoy having the changed DPI with root and no permanent notification for Priority mode.

*edit* sorry did not mean to quote the person above me. I'm asking about actually getting from MM back to LP
Hate to ask this but has anyone verified this? I'm wanting to do this to mine tonight but I don't have near the experience a lot of others do here.
I did this without any problems at all

It's very easy. Just load stock kdz with LGUP. I even rooted and all that after.

I haven't done it just yet. And I know I'm not the smartest here. But to my knowledge yes you will lose everything. So always good to back up all your files. I've got all my photos backed up to google photos. over 5000 lol. But yeah from what I understand it's the same as doing a factory reset except instead of factory resetting back to MM you're factory resetting to LP.

(Request to a moderator below my response to stephen293)
OK, I did mine last night and using the refurbish mode as said does in fact delete all data.
((TO MODERATOR CAN WE GET THE ORIGINAL POST UPDATED TO INCLUDE THAT TO LOCATE THE KDZ FILE YOU NEED TO FIRST TICK THE UPGRADE CIRCLE)) I found it down the thread, But just figured it would be easier for others if it was included in the original post. Thanks
Big ups to everyone who made this happen!

Hey sorry but the www.lgkdz.com doesn't work. Is there another site we can find all lg firmware to downgrade for our exact lg variant match....
From OP second 1), try : http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/
or check the XDA G4 section for your variant.
Thank you for your response. I did actually download the H812 kdz from storagecow however when I put it in the LGUP tool it read as an error in the tot file. I'm not sure what happened or where I went wrong. I'm so confused at this point and without my G4 being unuseable at this time. I also wanted to ask if the kdz you directed me to are in fact the file I need to go back to LP from MM?
Hi Guys i have LG G3 D851 ..i am currently on MM i want to downgrade to lollipop so i downloaded the kdz file V20e but the problem is that LGUP cannot detect my G3 shows the device as unknown model but correctly shows the comports i even tried using LGFlash tool used seems that i cannot downgrade shows error and stops so i wanna know is there any way to fix this unknown model in LGUP ...
Guess no one wants to help here ?? To anyone else who has this issue u may need to change the buildprop file and ur phone must be rooted it still doesnt shows as unknown in LGUP but since i have rooted my phone n bought a new battery and installed xposed and im having a good battery life i still want to know why it aint showing up in LGUP

The only flashing method that has ever worked for me when my phone was bricked along with Corrupted recovery is the .TOT method. And that I'm afraid is the one from where you have to start all over from Out of the box experience with 4.4 Kitkat. If the LGFlashTool2014 does not work for you, I recommend the LGFlashtoolv1.8.1 + the crack. It will not ask you for the KDZ and should allow you to downgrade without any hassle.
There are 2 things you will need:
LGD851AT-01-V10c.zip & LGFLASHv160.dll
This will point you in the right direction. Just scroll down to the text where it says "2014 TOT Method (Old/Outdated)"

Solution to LGUP LG G3 unknown
While an old thread, it'll be found in searches. For anybody who gets "UNKNOWN" device with LGUP for the LG G3, I found that LGUP for the G3 is often distributed with the wrong DLL file. See the details here, post #11.
HTH
LGUP worked with my LG G3 D851 when I used it as in this tutorial:
LG G3 LineageOS Tutorial - Linus Tech Tips
:crying:
My issues is quite complicated. Please be patient and read on.
Less than a week ago, I bought an LG G3 D855. It wasn't brand new and definitely out of warranty.
It was on the 4.4.2 Os version but I couldn't update it because I couldn't locate the UPDATE CENTER and after some research online, I found out it was because it was rooted. I couldn't find a Supersu application anywhere on the phone anyways but Root checker confirmed that it was rooted.
I downloaded the stock kitkat firmware in a .tot format and I tried flashing using LG Flash Tool for TOT but it failed because "Device version is different"
I checked the Imei online and it stated that the device is a Sprint LS990 but the details embedded in the phone all say it is D855
I checked online and found a couple of posts about this error and one user said he was able to fix it by flashing the actual Sprint .tot with the lg flash tool. I tried that but it didn't work. It still said "Device version is different. Check BIN or dll"
I checked online and found results pointing to a generic .dll file for G3s and I downloaded it but when I used it on the Flash tool, it resulted to an error "CrossDL blah blah"
So I found a Marshmallow kdz file. LGUP won't see my device model so I was able to flash it after editting the software in my build.prop to D85510n.
***I have always changed the port to COM41 in all the steps I used
The LG UP detected my model and it flashed to 100% but got stuck on a bootloop by loading the lg screen, freezing and restarting by it self. It never gets to the homescreen.
I downloaded lollipop kdz reflashed using LGUP in a form of downgrade and it got to 100% and got stuck at the lg screen while trying to reboot.
I redownloaded the stock kitkat rom and used the Lg flash tool but it failed. It said 'PID null IMEI Null"
I used LGUP to reflashed. It came to my understanding that the LGUP can flash both kdz and tot. So it flashed to 100% but got stuck at the lg screen and I have tried all I can but it is stuck. It can go into download tho. I don't know what to do about the IMEI. I don't know if the last flash retrieved it. I don't kniw what to do.
It no longer shows as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial
Please can anyone help me?
I just need my phone to work again. I was stubborn and now I regret it. I should have just stuck to kitkat. I'm so desperate to get my phone working that I wouldn't mind Android Froyo Os if it was ever possible.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Folks.
Got the same problem now (with my wife's phone). I'd appreciate it if instead of helping people privately you'd tell everyone what to do to fix the problem.
I had the same problem, downloaded .tot file via IMEI check (can't remember where from) and used that .tot file with BoardDiag, flashed everything as in tutorial (google it), it was 4.4.2 Android, couldn't update it (software is up to date) so I rooted it, flashed twrp 3.0.0 and installed Fulmics 8.0, it works now just fine
I have tried every method I can find to root my g3 6.0. Kingroot, PurpleDrake, etc. I've tried every method to revert back to 5.0 I can find, LGUP, LG Flashtool 2014 and 2015, none of them work.
I then decided to give up and pay a shop to do it for me. But when I asked about it, they said they couldn't do it. Reason being that 6.0 updated the boot loader, and if you tried to revert, it would brick the phone. If this true or did they just not know what they were doing?
If anyone can help me to root this phone or revert to 5.0 I'd really appreciate it! Nothing I find seems to work.
If you have D855 reverting with LGUP works.

Is there any truth to downgrading bricking my phone?
I can't really tell. I think no. BTW did you even tried to downgrade with LGUP or you write nonsense in OP?
No I did try the guide on https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
When trying KDZ method, it just stops after loading the LG update tool, tells me it encountered an error, or it couldnt connect to the server. I tried leaving it for 15 mins, then unplugging and replugging it back in, nothing happend.
When trying TOT method, I get a version mismatch. I know I have the right version of files but nothing.
Looks like there has been no luck rooting Canadian G3 so far: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/root-d852-canada-marshmallow-6-0-t3356842

I had the same problem with the KDZ method. Did it ask you if you wanted to retry? When I chose to retry, it worked fine afterwards. *
*Caveat...someone told me that that unable to connect error is a false error and that it should just continue after clicking retry. I wound up having to unplug my phone, pull the battery, rebooted/reconnected into download mode, chose the retry button and it worked.
i have successfully downgraded from MM to LL following this post.

About to buy this phone and am getting mixed answers reading through the threads. Can the latest build (D85130g) be downgraded or will I get an error with the flash tool. Don't want to spend the money and be stuck on stock. I know kingo only works with earlier firmware.
Yes you Can.

You can Downgrade from 30G to 10R, I did it a few times using LGUP without any problem.

Obviously. It's 3 years old. That being said, some of us are broke af and are buying it for the good specs. Despite the age
It still do the job well if hardware not failing. If you root it and put new software on it work as new so its very good.

I actually ended up buying it after confirming it could be downgraded. Ran lineage for a few days but despite being fast, was a little buggy for me. Currently running the stock 30g rom and aside from the crappy battery life, i have no complaints. This phone was definitely advanced for its time and gives new phones a run for their money. This phone is solid. 80$ well spent imo
I've been trying for 2 days to downgrade my G3 D851 and it will not flash using LGup or LG Flash tool 2014. The process starts, but always stops due to error. LGUP always shows Unknown Device [COM41, D85130e]. Have set port to 41 and random. Can anyone offer any solutions? Have tried tot and kdz.

i believe the flash tool I'm using is from this thread(https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/firmware-t-mobile-lg-g3-t2818667) under "kdz flashing method". Using a stock 30D kdz from one of these threads. I don't set the port to anything. Never fails for me. If it doesn't work I'll zip the exact one i have and upload when i get home. Where is it failing? What percentage?
Thanks. I finally succeeded with LGUP. Turned out when I downloaded and installed LGUP, it came with 8994 dll, and the D851 requires 8974 dll. It still didn't work with KDZ, but I got it to work with TOT. What a PITA!!! I don't envy anyone else trying to root D85130e without advanced knowledge. Thanks for your offer to help. Maybe this will help someone else that is having problems. The LGUP download with the 8974 dll is here. http://oceanhost.eu/545euinlq0hw/LGUP_LG_G3.zip.htm
